Tarsha Wayne

19 years old, first-year Master Builders Carpentry apprentice

The journey to become a qualified carpenter is a career path that is well worth the four years. The biggest lesson I have learned is to remember that there is nothing wrong with making a mistake as long as it helps you learn from the experience. I really enjoy being part of the carpentry community.
